The American Revolution brought forth a new early trade, weaving. America could no longer rely on England for their imported textiles and other manufactured goods. Every person in the family would have to learn to make their own clothes. Since the colonists did not want to wear the same color of clothing day in and day out, it was necessary to dye fabric using homegrown and wild plants and vegetables. In most colonial towns, there was a person whose specific job was a wool dyer.

Colonial Sense took a trip with the long time antiques dealer Robert Leese to the National Museum of the American Coverlet in Bedford, Pennsylvania on Memorial Day Weekend. This was the fifth year anniversary for the museum which opened Memorial Day Weekend in 2006. We were accompanied by the founders Melinda and Laszlo Zongor, and C. Douglas Schmidt who is President of the Cumberland Cultural Foundation and oversees the C. William Gilchrist Gallery in Cumberland, Maryland. Melinda is the Museum Director and Curator.
